a term used for "white slaves" and poor ppl. there are ppl who say that cracker is a slur, but its not, and now they compare it to the nword . cracker isnt a slur cuz white Americans have never been oppressed and the nature of a slur stems from systemic oppression. the nword was used as a way to berate and dehumanise black slaves, cracker is not dehumanising at all. therefore the two aint comparable.
White person 1: I don’t care if people call me a cracker.
White person 2: But you should because it’s racist!! It’s like calling a black person the n-slur!!!
A cracker is a term for a white person. Some think it is offensive, but most just take it as the joke it should be. Because of the cracking sounds of whips. Or because crackers are pale. But a ritz cracker or half cracker is is biracial person, half African American and half Caucasian
